I am also excited for Halloween and Thanksgiving. Last year the boys and I were in transition stage so we stuck close to one another and did a lot of things to keep us busy, so we made a lot of crafts and baked a ton. As I realized that fall was coming I realized that if we didn't slow things we weren't going to be able to keep some of the traditions the kids and I started last year. So we are officially in slow down mode. I am going to try and slow down our schedule. We are going to focus back on family fun for the season and add some friends activity's into the mix. I need to make sure that the kids are having fun and enjoying their self and make sure that they keep some of their favorite activities from last year around to start the traditions I would like them to carry with them forever.
Its going to be hard cause I have a busy complex...I love to be busy ALL the time, but when I am busy ALL the time I crash and burn when I am tired. To the point where it takes me a week to recover. I think I need to pace myself and enjoy the moments I get alone with the boys. We were discussing how last year we just enjoyed being together, just the 3 of us. I just want to be able to have some Mommy and Me time with just me and the boys and be able to cuddle up in front of the fire while reading scary Halloween books. Or enjoy decorating the House as a family of 4. I just feel that as the pace we are going now I wont enjoy the decorating or I will put it off until its to late. Then the kids wont enjoy it, cause really I do it for the kids. They enjoy having a festive house, they think its cool, but really they enjoy helping out and being together as a family.
I guess that's what this time of year is all about, Spending time with the family. Maybe that's what makes it so special for me. Not the weather or colors or food, but family.
Wish me luck on the slow down mode, it is going to be really hard for me.
